I’m glad Mata’s starting. We desperately needed some one to put some zip in our passing.

Nah they are only average too. Like us.What's with Wolves team that is treated like a prime Barcelona round here.
Horrible recruitment for about 10 years and appointing a different manager with a different playstyle every 2-3 years is what got us here.Look at the front 3's across the league that we are competing with and then see ours . How did we actually get to this stage
. What else can I say about the state of that line up for one of the world's biggest clubSarcasm is unbecoming
If Greenwood starts, you don't have a striker on the bench. He'll start a game but when Martial or Rashford is resting.I would've liked to see Greenwood start, perhaps even Williams at left back too.
Not sure about the lineup, be interesting to see how we get on.
Sure. There's a chance all the Southampton players have a sudden bout of flu and they forfeit...I'm not asking for delusion but can we have a bit of optimism please?
As much as I love ragging on our own team, the backlines arent even comparable come on nowHonestly thing there's not much in quality between both teams.
This is why many peoples expectations from this season are unrealistic.Looking at that Southampton team, ours doesn't look much better.
Well by then the club will probably see the consequences of not having a proper squad and hopefully start buying some players. January is not an easy transfer window but we need to strengthen!What makes you think January will be more hopeful? I am gobsmacked that we are so threadbare. This is Man Utd not a Sunday football side
Fair enough though isn't it? Lingard has gotten less minutes each game and Ole has shown he's not afraid to drop him if he doesn't perform. Ole will be looking for a reaction when he comes off the bench. Let's just hope one of Pereira / Mata outperform him so Ole can justify not starting Lingard again next game.Juan has been chomping at the bit eh. Lovely, Ole has said Lingard will probably come off the bench.
I'll say it'll probably be a draw but yes, we're very beatable
I can't lie, i feel the same. There is nothing to fear if you are part of the Southampton setup. The one glimmer of hope is they dont have Nathan Redmond.. What else can I say about the state of that line up for one of the world's biggest club
It shows how thin and lack of quality the attacking options are when Martial goes down. It's between Pereria, Mata, Greenwood and Lingard for two positions. Too early to include Gomes as a selection.Anyone thinking Greenwood would start this game needs their head testing
I'm suggesting this the worst attack we have started in a league game, that isn't an end of season dead rubber, in the Premier League era.Are you saying this is the worst team we have put out in a league match for the last 20 years?
No. He said Lingard has done well in his games, he hasnt. Mata has been just as bad if not worse when hes come on. Both should be dropped. At least Pereira set up a goal with a great cross. And if the youngsters arent given a chance when Mata and Lingard are playing this bad, then theres a problemFair enough though isn't it? Lingard has gotten less minutes each game and Ole has shown he's not afraid to drop him if he doesn't perform. Ole will be looking for a reaction when he comes off the bench.

Just like the first XI then. That's our squad. Better get used to it and buckle up for a long season and stressful season!That bench looks, ehm, not so strong.
Periera, who is even worse than Lingard.Who are we gonna blame now Lingard is dropped???
Nah it’s ok, it will still be his fault
I'm not going to trawl through lineups for the next 30 minutes, but I'm absolutely convinced you are wrong. We've had some terrible lineups in the past.I'm suggesting this the worst attack we have started in a league game, that isn't an end of season dead rubber, in the league in the Premier League era.
Up for anyone suggesting a worst attack.
Pereira has 1 assist in 1 game. Lingard has... nothing in 3Periera, who is even worse than Lingard.
Definitely. But id have thought Mata.We have played a 4231 in all of our games, including pre season, so you'd naturally think one of Pereira or Mata will play wide.
We've always had top strikers, even in our poor teams. It's the worst we've had. Things are that bad.I'm not going to trawl through lineups for the next 30 minutes, but I'm absolutely convinced you are wrong. We've had some terrible lineups in the past.
Yeah sure. He was terrible aside from the goal though. Lingard is much in his general play. Hopefully Periera improves.Pereira has 1 assist in 1 game. Lingard has... nothing in 3
Remember that while our team looks average by our standards, their team looks donkey balls!No point watching the game, we've already lost
